Episode: Day 306: Wisdom Is Beautiful (2023)
The podcast extensively discussed the book of Wisdom, especially chapters 7 and 8. It highlighted Solomon as the author and discussed the themes of wisdom, including its feminine nature, and God as its source.
"
So the idea is behind this is that here in the chapter 8 he says yeah so I was given a body and as a mark of insight to know whose gift she was, meaning the gift of wisdom.
Lady wisdom is marked throughout scripture. We heard about wisdom is always feminine in the Hebrew scriptures and in the Christian scriptures. It's just what a gift that is but here he is saying I longed for her but I also know whose gift she is, meaning I don't get wisdom for myself. We only get wisdom from the Lord God himself.
So at the very end of chapter 8 he says but I perceived I would not possess wisdom unless God gave her to me. It was a mark of insight to know whose gift she was right? This comes from God.
it says for wisdom the fashioner of all things taught me for in her there is a spirit that is and then he goes on to list a number of these key words that highlight an aspect of wisdom.

"
I was talking with Dr. Hillary McBride she wrote a book called The Wisdom of the Body and she talked about you know like if you have social anxiety like you're somebody who like you go into a gathering a party of full of people and like you're you feel a sense of anxiety in that room and so you leave the room because you're afraid and it's uncomfortable you leave the room and when you leave the room you leave the party your body feels better like it really does feel better yeah feel a sense of relief but she described that as that you weren't actually ever in danger it was just it was just a sense that your body gave you that like I need to get out of here and so what happens is the next time you're presented with a party or a gathering your sense of fear might even be higher and then your your compulsion to leave is even stronger because you like I know how to feel better here yeah is I'm gonna avoid being uncomfortable yep the problem with that is that everything that's good and right is not always comfortable and so we have to do our work of self-awareness yeah reflection of work talking to our people of all those practices in the regular Tuesdays of life so that when the Saturday night decision comes let's just say yes we have some muscle memory yeah we have some like memory of what it feels like the difference between the discomfort that comes from being truly unsafe and this is not a great decision yep or just this is right for me but I'm gonna have to have a really difficult conversation I don't want to have yeah or or I'm gonna have to be alone or I'm gonna move to a new place and it's gonna be hard yeah I could see why you might want to avoid that but I would say that when you get really quiet and you get alone and you you kind of are able to focus on how your body's feeling in a moment I think we all know what it feels like when we're moving from a deep place of our inner knowing versus when we're moving from a frenetic place of our fear yes but it takes practice it so does it so does yeah it's also like touching the stove a few times and seeing that it's hot right like is it still hot like you know there's so much of that because there are gonna be times when you make decisions based on anxiety that prevent you from that actually make you feel worse long-term long-term if you're socially anxious it might feel good in the moment you know instant gratification to leave but you'll find delayed gratification if you push through it and learn to be able to go and enjoy the party you know what I mean and like feel comfortable and safe in the party.

The book was inspired by the author's 30 years of experience as a surgeon, and explored the body's ability to maintain equilibrium and its intricate communication systems. The author described the body as a community of 75 trillion cells, led by the brain, working together to maintain this balance.

the body truly responds to the leadership but the leadership has to respond to the body because the leadership has to be in a position that every small group, every lobby in this body has a place in the thoughts of the leadership literally, the thoughts so that if you are finger, your fifth finger happens to hit a pin a whole bunch of things are set off immediately because the leadership is being attention to everyone in the 75 trillion cells.
